President Trump to Reinstate Military Ban on Transgender Individuals
Better than sharing an article that will be criticized for its bias, here is the text from his tweets.
"After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military.
Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail."
No commentary from me since I'm at work. Just sharing.Advertisement

Why would you not allow someone who is willing and able to serve their country?

Jul 26, 17, 10:26 AM #3Not that this should impact the debate, but just curious how many people we are talking about here. Is it hundreds, thousands, or more?

Jul 26, 17, 11:48 AM #11On tangent here, is there any research/info available on Transgender Medical Costs vs. Male or Females or any other group of people?

It sounds like this is what the stated rational was--
Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail
